Jeez...

-Simple Choice is NOT eligible. No, your account isn't special. It won't work. You have to change plans

-If you don't walk out of the store w/ the new Iphone in your hand, you will get bill credits. Which means you are stuck for 2 years and the extra you're paying for the line lessens this deal.

-Deal is $500 rebate for 6s phones, $700 for iPhone 7 and beyond. If you have an iPhone 6 or lower, you're getting no rebate. End of story. There are no loopholes or "what ifs".

-Phone screen can't be cracked. Not a "what about a little crack in the corner" comment. It will be rejected. Same goes for "what about a home button not working." Try it, but don't be surprised when it gets rejected. It's your $700 gamble. Stop asking if it will work.

-If your screen is cracked, get it fixed by a 3rd party place before sending in. It's typically less than $100

-Phone can be unlocked after 40 days w/ a request to Tmobile, and then used with any wireless service.

-Can't cancel line until you get your rebate; then go ahead and cancel or port out. Rebate takes 2-3 months to get

-Phone supports dual sim, so put your current ph# on the Esim (just go to a Tmobile store and ask) and the sim card with your new # in the phone. Yes, you can now have 2 numbers on new iPhones. Then you don't risk the phone # not being active while waiting for the rebate.

-If you want a cheap iPhone 7, look on the internet. Don't be lazy. Otherwise try a boost mobile store and read the "instore promo" offers on their website. Some are shady, so ask everything they're charging you for.

-Lastly, don't trust the Costco wireless reps. Hundreds of people here have done this and similar deals. They know better than any rep you will meet, as they've all done these deals.

Please make sure that you buy the phone outright, meaning limited colors and storage options.

My local store didn't have the iPhone 11 in stock and I was told I'd still get the GC rebate. After reading all the paperwork, when I got home, this isn't the case. Had to go back to cancel the line and wait for the phone shipment to arrive to go back and return that (which you have to mail yourself with the label provided). 2 weeks later, EIP is still on my account.

If we call and complain to Costco about running a promotion and not keeping the inventory, they are likely to extend the promotion. I have done just that. - Call their CS number from their Website. CS representative said that she will log the complaint. She said that they have extended the promos in the past when they heard from many of their members.
If you really believe that, great.

If they got thousands and thousands... maybe. But I really doubt it.

They will extend just like in the past - to get more business. Not because of inventory. Not because they respond to customers. Just plain old business.

$266.89

$99.99 - 2 iphone 7 ($399.99-$350 for one w/ port in, $399-$100 national promo- $250 Bogo promo)
$27 - Activation 1st phone
$17 - activation 2nd phone

——————
$999.99 x 2 iphone 11 pro max 64gb
94.22 tax

T-mobile cost
$70 - 2 lines senior magenta plan w/ autopay discount


Total cost

+7
+266.89
+2092.22
+70
——-
2366.11

966.11
- 900 (sell our iphone XRs 128gb and 256gb)

The Costco wireless advocate rep there was working 3 customers at a time. Said would email the shipping labels over. Been calling him over 4 days and said he'll do it. No longer in Hawaii now. If he doesn't follow through may just have to return them.
you can call t-mobile to get the trade-in paperwork.

I did 'Erase all contents and settings'. When the phone started again after erase, it prompted me to configure the phone with all settings again. Is that the only thing I needed to do or did I need to sign out of icloud manually.

Can some please tell me which credit card to use in Costco when buying an iPhone? I have Costco Citi card. I also have the US Bank card where I get 5% for paying the phone bill. Thanks.
